For no particular reason at all, here's how to compile John the Ripper on Debian Testing (Wheezy). It's very easy, and this post is probably a bit superfluous. The standard version only supports serial and parallel (OMP). See below for MPI.
The regular version:
mkdir ~/tmp
cd ~/tmp
wget http://www.openwall.com/john/g/john-1.7.9.tar.gz
tar xvf john-1.7.9.tar.gz
cd john-1.7.9/src
If you don't edit the Makefile you build a serial/single-threaded binary.
If you want to build a threaded version for a single node with a multicore processor (OMP) do:
Edit Makefile and uncomment row 19 or 20
18 # gcc with OpenMP
19 OMPFLAGS = -fopenmp
20 OMPFLAGS = -fopenmp -msse2
make clean linux-x86-64
cd ../runYou now have a binary called john in your ../run folder.
The Jumbo version:
If you want to build a distributed version with MPI (can split jobs across several nodes) you need the enhanced, community version:
If you want to build a distributed version with MPI (can split jobs across several nodes) you need the enhanced, community version:
sudo apt-get install openmpi-bin libopenmpi-dev
cd ~/tmp
wget http://www.openwall.com/john/g/john-1.7.9-jumbo-7.tar.gz
tar xvf john-1.7.9-jumbo-7.tar.gz
cd john-1.7.9-jumbo-7/src
Edit the Makefile
20 ## Uncomment the TWO lines below for MPI (can be used together with OMP as well)
21 ## For experimental MPI_Barrier support, add -DJOHN_MPI_BARRIER too.
22 ## For experimental MPI_Abort support, add -DJOHN_MPI_ABORT too.
23 CC = mpicc -DHAVE_MPI
24 MPIOBJ = john-mpi.o
and do
cd ../run
I had a look at the passwords on one of our lab boxes -- it immediately discovered that someone had used 'password' as the password...
These test were run on my old AMD II X3 445. Processes which don't speed up with MP are highlighted in red. LM DES is borderline -- it's faster, but doesn't scale well.
Here's the single thread/serial version:

I don't quite understand the Kerberos results.
